7 Get an Alignment After this installation, you will need to get a professional alignment done. Recommended front alignment specs: Camber: -1° to –1.5° Caster: +4° to +5° Toe-in: 1/16” Special Note for 1102 kits: At full droop (suspension hanging all the way down) and at full steering lock left or right, your tires may contact the a-arms slightly. This is nothing to worry about since the suspension does not experience this type of situation under normal driving conditions.
